The guitars you make are absolutely beautiful. Your craftsmanship is impeccable! And you play amazing. I hope that you do make more UA-cam videos. I love watching them.
Amazing. Your guitars ring like a bell. I rarely run across a channel that immediately makes me sit up and want to binge watch all of the creators content. I wish you many years of continuing success and happiness.
Great video - I adore your honesty in this. I empathize with getting the wrong computer files. It’s so difficult to keep them sorted. Microphone placement and room acoustics -are so very challenging. Your excitement and ability to laugh at yourself reminds me of my 29 y/o daughter, Mary. Thanks.
I really enjoyed your comparison. I am just starting to learn, and I want to hear what's happening intelligently. stephen3073's observations will allow me to rehear this in a better way. The flamed sycamore neck is a great contrast to the usual dark tones. Does the neck timber type effect the tone? As for files, as an OCD I always name mine systematically and meaningfully so the contents are obvious. I also have a systematic folder naming routine. It just saves so much time later.
Oh my word what amazing instruments you make! The jigs weren’t mistakes you have just broadened your ‘catalogue’ and included more potential happy guitarists. To have a guitar like yours as a first guitar will be such a thrill! Well done.
WOW! Raucous applause for Daisy and her creations! Both guitars sound magnificent. Super responsive, very even in balance from low to mid to high, great, colorful overtones developing, sustain is off the charts, and the clarity is pure and crystalline. And to think, as they accrue a bit of age and playing time, they will continue to sound more complex and colorful. It's a kind of alchemy, rendered in wood, and made into the most splendid musical sounds. If they sound this good right out of the starting gate, they will achieve the quality of legend in a very short time. It's also quite evident that your level of craft wisdom is highly advanced. And your aesthetic sensibilities are pure elegance. Daisy, you have greatness all over you!
Wowzers! Those are two absolutely beautiful instruments. When you said about the walnut wood coming from the lady's hometown, I nearly lost it. Silly old fool that I am......
Beautiful woods used. That Welsh walnut is amazing. Thank you for sharing all the 'Bob Ross' moments it adds a lot. Both those guitars sounded fantastic. Hugo....sounds like a great partnership and yes use his skills
They are both very beautiful. The Tasmanian Tyger Myrtle is awesome. What a beautiful wood. Love seeing your passion for what you do. Keep it coming Daisy.
Daisy, I really enjoy your videos. The smaller guitar sounds more expressive and articulate. The large one is just so smooth. The sustain of both was amazing. Guitars are very personal. The love that goes into your work really shows. I'm sure she will be over the moon.
Both of those guitars are amazing Daisy! The sound and sustain on both are terrific! Well done and keep up the great work that you do. Would really enjoy hearing you play more often as well. Cheers! 👍👍🎸🎸💖💖
I just now finished watching the build for the Robb guitar. Hard to bring the words to praise you, it's difficult to see the keyboard thru teary eyes. I would think that you hearing the tone / harmonics reverberating brings pride and joy to you.SUBBED.
Wow, great work! Both guitars look and sound incredible. The smaller guitar has a delightful brightness to its tone, while the larger model has a profound depth.
I don't know much about harmonics or tone, but I can spot enthusiasm right off. If your instruments convey the quality of sound that you do in passion, there is no doubt as to the level of craftsmanship. Top shelf, I say.
I find your vids deeply inspiring. You have an artists sensibility with a masterful craftsman's skill. Could never afford one of your pieces, but damn they are beautiful.
So happy to see you back. I look forward to every build and you make no mistakes, only adjustments. I love the wood choices you use. Excellent work as always.
Daisy, I would love to learn more about what your thinking ,such as the term ‘attack’. What other thoughts you have would be a great insight into your mind. I love how you genuinely express your feelings:it’s a refreshing intimate moment of how you’re one of those amazing people I’m glad are here in this timeline but sadly will never have the pleasure of having a coffee with. Great videos.
Fantastic to watch the artist playing and enjoying what she has built. I really enjoyed this. Watching someone use a knife I've made, or read a story I've written, doesn't quite compare to the look on your face as you make music with what you've crafted. Inspirational, Ma'am.
Fascinating how just hearing the drone resonance of each guitar immediately changed the way I sang a song I'm learning. Even though the melody remained basically the same, I was making a clearer sound and new notes came in certain key places, which improved the phrasing. So, thank you for this video about sound.
Since the mic placement for both tests is the same the comparison works… also, we’re getting a good sense of the indirect ambient sound which may even be preferable… I will often record acoustic instruments this way to prevent false colouration of close micing… acoustic instruments are usually best heard at a distance (which is part of their design) so close micing can lose the point of the entire sound palette of the instrument… in the studio I will often use a combination of close and distant mics and off axis placement… I will listen back to each one individually and blend according to the natural audible tone by ear… love your work by the way… such passion and so inspiring with gentle intelligence! Big fan…
They both sound fantastic. For my own tastes and playing I like the softer attack on the big one, but the sustain and decay on the smaller one is gorgeous -- she rings like a perfectly cast bronze bell.
Always enjoy your contributions, but this was especially interesting. ‘Happy accidents’ happen all the time in hand-building a guitar. I’m just finishing an all Koa body OM-style guitar and ‘accidentally’ applied the same stain to the Mahogany neck. The difference between how it looks on Koa to Mahogany is stunning and strangely complimentary.
Hi ! Your guitars are both incredible, as usual. I prefer the big one but both are interesting in a way. Thank you for sharing your smile and your great woodworking! ❤
The sound is very rich, vibrant, good attack and sustain and lots of overtones that make that rich harmonic environment our ears love! You build amazing guitars!
Holy crap! I didn't know there's a harmonic at the end of the fret board! I've played for 15+ years. Must be because I learned by ear without instruction. It has its pros and cons. Thank you Daisy, you're always great, funny too ;)
Those both sound incredible! (even with the mic mishap) I have truly fallen in love with small body guitars for my style of playing. I play with a melody focused fingerstyle playing that really seems to be accentuated with the smaller more focused body. I'd love to play one of your guitars, even if I couldn't afford to buy it. Thanks for posting these videos. I now have building a guitar on my bucket list.
Both beautiful guitars Daisy, I have to say, I prefer the smaller guitar, but my own favorite guitar is an OM model. I always find it amazing how guitars sound so different depending on where you are hearing them from, they sound totally different when playing them to being in front of them. Amazing skills, keep the good work up
Bonsoir from Canada, Daisy! I am researching "the" sound I am after and I am about to commission a small jumbo guitar from a luthier friend of mine (hopefully for the end of this year, 2024). I applaud this presentation of yours as the microphone picked up the nuances of one guitar size versus the other. I am a dreadnought guy (Larrivée, Martin and a sole Gibson J-45 "sustainable" in the mix), so I am partial to the sound of your bigger one... That was the one with the funky harmonic amplication, right? Anyway, merci so much for making us appreciate a luthier's dedication to his or her craft. Play on, everyone, no matter where your particular musical taste lies... Au revoir!
Both are beautiful guitars. I am drawn more to the smaller one. I love the flamed sycamore neck and head plate. Great job!!! You're not an idiot. You made a few honest mistakes and made the best of it.
Well, it that is where accidents lead you, you should welcome them. Two fabulous equally desirable guitars. I guess that since my preference is for smaller bodies I would be looking at the powerful Lady, as you put it. The Welsh Walnut is a definite draw. And would I love to have been at that dinner! Must have been very rewarding for you Daisy. Love your work, oh and your unique Rosette design is Fab.
Both guitars are beautiful and beautifully made. I like how you used the walnut back with the lighter sap wood center. And both outside design of the bodies funneling perfectly to the sound hole with uninterrupted sound flow. 😉
To my untrained ear they both have wonderful sound. When it comes down to it what fits the layer signifies more. I love the significance of the walnut back.
As a guitarist, singer/songwriter, and live sound and recording engineer, I'd love to see how Hugo approaches capturing an acoustic guitar performance on one of your instruments. It is always interesting to see how different people approach it.
The off axis sound isn't bad at all! Both sound lovely! I really like the smaller guitar, but I like smaller bodied instruments in general and walnut is one of my most favourite woods.
That's a beautiful sound you've created with that guitar Daisy. Someone's going to be a very proud owner let's hope they create some music that does justice to your creativity.
I'm just glad to know that I'm not the only one that stresses to the max on delivery days! Polish, polish, polish until the customer walks in the door.
Hi Daisy. Love your videos 😊. In my very limited experience, heavy guitars can give lots of loudness/sustain. Jumbos and dreadnoughts are often good for low bass register. Both of your guitars sound amazing, even with dodgy mic placement 😂
Wow. They both sound amazing! I've been watching and enjoying for a year, or more but don't think I've actually heard the results of your work before ('cept maybe a uke?). Crisp, clean, tonally beautiful and just wonderful sustain. Beautiful wood, beautifully wrought, And the home grown walnut for the Welsh lass? Utterly priceless. Look forward to hearing how that delivery goes. I'm tearing up just thinking about it, lol.
Daisy, que sonido tan maravilloso lograste en las dos guitarras. En lo personal me gustó la mas pequeña, la parte de atras con esa columna vertebral blanca es alucinante. ¡¡Felicidades!! ¡¡Eres una GRAN artista!!
Incredible craftmanship - seriously amazing works of art. Both guitars sounded amazing with outstanding sustain. To my ear, through the recording, I preferred the smaller body and there was something unique about the top and bottom sounds too. The new owners are incredibly lucky ! Would love to hear how it turns out and I look forward to seeing what else you have in store.
Yeah, artists suck at the formal math and logistics, and it always costs the artist money. You're in good company, Daisy. The guitars both look and sound great. Keep making sawdust.
They both sound beautiful. The smaller one had a lightly quieter mellow voice. I think both future owners will be so happy with what you have created. Isn't it sooo satisfying bringing something beautiful into existence that wasn't there before?!
if i may if not me being too forward but i feel your exitement as to be somewhat like my way of bringing a smile to my self in self reflection , i use the freedom of music as a way to tele port my muse of guitar playing to find my self an unseen aduien but your an inspiration that gives me hope , thank you i loved you work , you are appretiated by a new "viewer" me ..
The Welsh walnut back is insanely gorgeous. If it weren't on an instrument already, I'd be happy to frame that book matched pattern and hang it on my wall.
YOU DON'T GIVE yourself enough credit for your amazing talent Daisy. It is great that you tend and like laughing at yourself, that's a good thing (I'm wishing more people had that). At the end if the day, laughing and poking merciless fun at yourself aside -- what you do, you do fantastically, it's where engineering and art collide. It makes the end product a real tangible force of nature. CONGRATULATIONS.. my dear, you have something special; keep it, nurture it. (I know about these things, I used to be an industrial model maker, same things apply.) As for the two guitars: both models ring, the larger one rings more powerfully, so in that sense maybe size does matter. Yet I think both sizes have purpose, depending on use, application, and surrounding environment. And I can also easily imagine the proper size designed model would bridge the gap rather nicely; thats just physics. Happy accidents.. kudos girl! You rock!
Stunning guitars, Daisy! Really beautiful work!!! 😃 But yeah, sometimes mistakes can create huge opportunities! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Daisy: Both guitars are beautiful; beautiful workmanship (make that workwomanship); with beautiful, very resonant sound. The larger one sounds "warmer', with the bass coming through (to my ears) a little more. And as you noted, it is louder. I imagine for many people it sounds more like what they expect a guitar to sound like and, thus, may be preferred. The smaller one is "brighter", "livelier", and has a beautiful tone, too. I'm sure a lot of people would prefer it. Without the side-by-side comparison most people probably wouldn't notice anything different or lacking about its sound. As with most things it comes down to individual taste/preference. And, yes, learning/understanding more is always good, so Hugo should provide you some mic information/coaching. :-)
The larger guitar reminded me a bit of a Japanese built Epiphone Texan I had back in the '70s but yours is deeper and richer. (everyone complemented the sound on that guitar too) I really loved the sweetness of the smaller guitar as is befitting a lady. Small guitar but not weak sounding. Of the two I like the smaller one the best.
Another engaging video, Daisy. I too like to listen to strummed harmonics ring across as many strings as possible, depending on the tuning, and listen for the overtones to come out - notes that haven't been played can be heard arising from the interaction of the vibrations. Accurate tuning is needed for that to happen in the most effective way, of course.
Beautiful sound and gorgeous resonance. Sure, the ambient mic didn't pic up the attack but it does still give us an appreciation of the overall timbre of these beautiful guitars. Social media is so often not a good reflection of reality, and is usually only showing the best parts of people and their days, so it is refreshing to watch a video where someone is being human. 🙂
As far as I can tell, the big one sounds like it has more body (derrr right?) and the smaller one while less body, it isn't lacking, an it sounds slightly brighter. Really, they both sound great. I'm really impressed at how you rolled with the mistakes, and well, making two mistakes in a row is the kind of thing I'd do tbh. You make great work, no reason to be embarrassed.
How awesome Daisy, You tripled the size of your luthierie business with just 2 clicks on the computer!😂🤣👌 Watching you be so excited about what you build is fantastic.😊 You are an artist that has learned how to make wood sing.😉 It is a true pleasure watching you refine your craft. You have a wonderful talent, be excited, it looks great on you!😁 Your expressions while playing and demonstrating; however...😬😂🤣 Have a fabulous week Daisy!🦢🤙
I like them both for different reasons. My main guitar is probably a bit closer to the smaller one, and I just like the more even sound you get from a mid-size guitar. Not always a fan of the boominess you get in a dreadnaught. I've been following along since you were apprenticing, I really enjoy your humor and your honesty. Not being afraid to say when you've made a mistake. And as others have said, your playing is great, quit being so hard on yourself 😁
Ms. Daisy, you don't give yourself enough credit with your playing. It needs to be said. Every time you have, it sounded amazing.
I agree. Luther's never have much regard for their own playing, ND players never have much regard for their set up work.
WOW the resonance is amazing so much harmonic information even unfretted
The guitars you make are absolutely beautiful. Your craftsmanship is impeccable! And you play amazing. I hope that you do make more UA-cam videos. I love watching them.
Amazing.
Your guitars ring like a bell.
I rarely run across a channel that immediately makes me sit up and want to binge watch all of the creators content.
I wish you many years of continuing success and happiness.

Sounds incredibly vibrant to my ear.

They are both very beautiful. The Tasmanian Tyger Myrtle is awesome. What a beautiful wood. Love seeing your passion for what you do. Keep it coming Daisy.
Both guitars are absolutely stunning, both in looks, size and sounds, thank you for sharing your fantastic skills with us.😊
Daisy, I really enjoy your videos. The smaller guitar sounds more expressive and articulate. The large one is just so smooth. The sustain of both was amazing. Guitars are very personal. The love that goes into your work really shows. I'm sure she will be over the moon.
The contrast is most clearly pointed by the smaller Spanish guitar of the early baroque, by comparison with the huge Mexican beasts.
You young lady are absolutely amazing. What an amazing talent you have.
I was missing videos from this channel. Brilliant, educational and amusing stuff Daisy. Glad to see things going very well indeed.
Both of those guitars are amazing Daisy! The sound and sustain on both are terrific! Well done and keep up the great work that you do. Would really enjoy hearing you play more often as well. Cheers! 👍👍🎸🎸💖💖

It is amazing that you are a modern day Luthier! I look forward to more of your spectacular work!!!
Geez. Listen to the warmth, projection, sustain, and amazing harmonics!! Absolute masterpiece!!
So happy to see you back. I look forward to every build and you make no mistakes, only adjustments. I love the wood choices you use. Excellent work as always.
Daisy, I would love to learn more about what your thinking ,such as the term ‘attack’. What other thoughts you have would be a great insight into your mind. I love how you genuinely express your feelings:it’s a refreshing intimate moment of how you’re one of those amazing people I’m glad are here in this timeline but sadly will never have the pleasure of having a coffee with. Great videos.
The light marble on the walnut back, floating into the neck is really beautiful!
I was surprised at the sound brightness and sustain of the smaller guitar but I'd gladly take either of them with profound pleasure! You're a Gem!!
The smaller guitar sounds so good! Love the matching colour of the Rosetta and the woods! I wouldn’t mind one myself!!!!
Very happy accident!!!👏👏
Fantastic to watch the artist playing and enjoying what she has built. I really enjoyed this. Watching someone use a knife I've made, or read a story I've written, doesn't quite compare to the look on your face as you make music with what you've crafted. Inspirational, Ma'am.
The harmonics …..phenomenal.. love them both. The swelling … my God you make beautiful instruments.
I think your customer is going to be really happy with that smaller guitar. It sounds lovely.
Bigger one have really beauuuuuutiful tone and harmonics!
And love the pink details in the small one.
Recording was well c:

Hi ! Your guitars are both incredible, as usual. I prefer the big one but both are interesting in a way.
Thank you for sharing your smile and your great woodworking! ❤
Your instruments sound so beautiful and the sustain is just amazing!
Beautiful guitars.
I love the design and wood choice.
Just wow !!!
So many people discount the sapwood on walnut. You did a fantastic job integrating it into the look. Love it.
The sound is very rich, vibrant, good attack and sustain and lots of overtones that make that rich harmonic environment our ears love! You build amazing guitars!
Holy crap! I didn't know there's a harmonic at the end of the fret board! I've played for 15+ years. Must be because I learned by ear without instruction. It has its pros and cons. Thank you Daisy, you're always great, funny too ;)
Wow! Just wow! Love the shape and appointments.
Those both sound incredible! (even with the mic mishap) I have truly fallen in love with small body guitars for my style of playing. I play with a melody focused fingerstyle playing that really seems to be accentuated with the smaller more focused body. I'd love to play one of your guitars, even if I couldn't afford to buy it.

I love how Beautifully Honest and Expressive You are! It's a real joy and very educational, watching your videos. 💖
Your guitars are really beautiful. Your playing was also. I enjoyed it.

Love this!! 😂 thanks for sharing 👍
Both guitars are absolutely gorgeous!! Love that pink too!
I think they both sound great ! You are an amazing maker stunning works of art ! And they sound wonderful .cheers
Both are beautiful guitars. I am drawn more to the smaller one. I love the flamed sycamore neck and head plate. Great job!!! You're not an idiot. You made a few honest mistakes and made the best of it.
Well, it that is where accidents lead you, you should welcome them. Two fabulous equally desirable guitars. I guess that since my preference is for smaller bodies I would be looking at the powerful Lady, as you put it. The Welsh Walnut is a definite draw. And would I love to have been at that dinner! Must have been very rewarding for you Daisy. Love your work, oh and your unique Rosette design is Fab.
Beautiful Workmanship. And Playing, LOVE your CHANNEL!!! The medulla rays in those Tops is Phenomenal.
Wonderful resonance on both. I know which I prefer. Bot that doesn't matter as long as the recipient enjoys her new instrument.
Great work as always, I prefer the brightness of the smaller guitar. Shame we couldn’t see the reaction of the girlfriend receiving her gift guitar.
Both guitars are beautiful and beautifully made. I like how you used the walnut back with the lighter sap wood center. And both outside design of the bodies funneling perfectly to the sound hole with uninterrupted sound flow. 😉
I don't play guitar, and never plan on building one, but I love your channel. I think both guitars are awesome!
To my untrained ear they both have wonderful sound. When it comes down to it what fits the layer signifies more. I love the significance of the walnut back.
Daisy, you have a winner there, you are very talented. Cheers!
As a guitarist, singer/songwriter, and live sound and recording engineer, I'd love to see how Hugo approaches capturing an acoustic guitar performance on one of your instruments. It is always interesting to see how different people approach it.

I am so glad I stumbled your “channel” on UA-cam!! You really are amazingly talented! I love watching you do your thing!
I'm just glad to know that I'm not the only one that stresses to the max on delivery days! Polish, polish, polish until the customer walks in the door.
Hi Daisy. Love your videos 😊. In my very limited experience, heavy guitars can give lots of loudness/sustain. Jumbos and dreadnoughts are often good for low bass register. Both of your guitars sound amazing, even with dodgy mic placement 😂
Wow. They both sound amazing!
I've been watching and enjoying for a year, or more but don't think I've actually heard the results of your work before ('cept maybe a uke?). Crisp, clean, tonally beautiful and just wonderful sustain.
Beautiful wood, beautifully wrought, And the home grown walnut for the Welsh lass? Utterly priceless. Look forward to hearing how that delivery goes. I'm tearing up just thinking about it, lol.
Daisy, que sonido tan maravilloso lograste en las dos guitarras. En lo personal me gustó la mas pequeña, la parte de atras con esa columna vertebral blanca es alucinante. ¡¡Felicidades!!
¡¡Eres una GRAN artista!!
Beautiful sound and so simple and tasteful design (no kitch details). Wish you the best young lady! 🌹
The small one I adore! The sound n tone focus is just perfect! But I'd want the larger one as well!
You make amazingly beautiful guitars. I've never seen anyone finger picking w/o using their index finger, that was very interesting.
Incredible craftmanship - seriously amazing works of art. Both guitars sounded amazing with outstanding sustain. To my ear, through the recording, I preferred the smaller body and there was something unique about the top and bottom sounds too. The new owners are incredibly lucky ! Would love to hear how it turns out and I look forward to seeing what else you have in store.
Amazing instruments with wonderful sustain and resonance. Love the harmonic overtones. If pushed I would go for the myrtle. Wonderful!
You're wonderful Daisy. Beautiful guitars! 😊🙏
Yeah, artists suck at the formal math and logistics, and it always costs the artist money. You're in good company, Daisy. The guitars both look and sound great. Keep making sawdust.
Another fun video! Thank you.
They both sound beautiful. The smaller one had a lightly quieter mellow voice. I think both future owners will be so happy with what you have created. Isn't it sooo satisfying bringing something beautiful into existence that wasn't there before?!
Both sounded good. I'm a big dude, but I'm starting to appreciate small guitars more and more. Looking forward to your next happy accident!
if i may if not me being too forward but i feel your exitement as to be somewhat like my way of bringing a smile to my self in self reflection , i use the freedom of music as a way to tele port my muse of guitar playing to find my self an unseen aduien but your an inspiration that gives me hope , thank you i loved you work , you are appretiated by a new "viewer" me ..
Always amazed what a beautiful work you are doing 😍😍
The Welsh walnut back is insanely gorgeous. If it weren't on an instrument already, I'd be happy to frame that book matched pattern and hang it on my wall.
Beautiful workmanship and attention to detail really enjoyed watching
Always insightful - always delightful! Thank you for sharing.

Daisy: Both guitars are beautiful; beautiful workmanship (make that workwomanship); with beautiful, very resonant sound.

11:20 this gives me goosebumps plus tearing up a bit. The overtones are amazing. Wow 😳... The sustain is impressive.

I too like to listen to strummed harmonics ring across as many strings as possible, depending on the tuning, and listen for the overtones to come out - notes that haven't been played can be heard arising from the interaction of the vibrations. Accurate tuning is needed for that to happen in the most effective way, of course.
Very nice work Daisy.
Beautiful sound and gorgeous resonance. Sure, the ambient mic didn't pic up the attack but it does still give us an appreciation of the overall timbre of these beautiful guitars.
Social media is so often not a good reflection of reality, and is usually only showing the best parts of people and their days, so it is refreshing to watch a video where someone is being human. 🙂
As far as I can tell, the big one sounds like it has more body (derrr right?) and the smaller one while less body, it isn't lacking, an it sounds slightly brighter. Really, they both sound great.
I'm really impressed at how you rolled with the mistakes, and well, making two mistakes in a row is the kind of thing I'd do tbh.
You make great work, no reason to be embarrassed.

Your expressions while playing and demonstrating; however...😬😂🤣
Have a fabulous week Daisy!🦢🤙
Both sound absolutely gorgeous and I couldn't pick a favourite.
I like them both for different reasons. My main guitar is probably a bit closer to the smaller one, and I just like the more even sound you get from a mid-size guitar. Not always a fan of the boominess you get in a dreadnaught. I've been following along since you were apprenticing, I really enjoy your humor and your honesty. Not being afraid to say when you've made a mistake. And as others have said, your playing is great, quit being so hard on yourself 😁
